I say, you know how Lake Superior looks like a wolf's head?  I'm from the tip of the nose.

Then I get looked at like I'm insane, because no one else thinks Lake Superior looks like a wolf.

We use our hands as maps in Wisconsin too.  The thumb is Door County.

I was gonna say, flashing that in my neighborhood will get you cut! (As opposed the "midwest coast MW," which is fine)

Russ Feingold used the hand-map the first time he ran for Senate.  *sniffle*

And...  if you are a Windows user you may notice the small Lake Superior-shaped cloud in the upper left quadrant of that pretty blue sky w/ the grassy knoll desktop image - which MS calls 'Bliss.'

I don't think you're really supposed to tell people about that Mason thing, Alan. The gang thing might also be pushing the bounds of yo' personal safety, son! Oh hell no!

When referencing a map with out-of-town/country friends, I always say, "I live where the bend in MN meets the point of the lake, and that the lake point is the fingertip tickling the armpit - that's where you'll find Dull-uth." "The Armpit."
